Both, internal and external links

In most of cases, when one searches for a scientific journal, the reader neads to download some specific paper. Wikipedia could provide short cut, not burdened with any adverticements. I would recover all the short cuts, giving both, external and internal links. The same applies also to the wiki articles about specific journals. dima 07:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The convention that has developed appears to be to list the internal and external links in, for example, List of scientific journals in physics. Articles on a particular journal of course have an external link, generally on the infobox which all journal articles should have. However articles on the publisher, such as the Institute of Physics, should only have the internal link. An external link there is likely to be seen as spam. --Bduke 10:10, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge here of PhysicsWeb

User:B. Wolterding has proposed that this stub be merged into the appropriate section of this article. Please debate it here.

Support. Agree, it is only ever going to be a stub and it is best to have it here in the main article for the Institute. --Bduke 22:46, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The text has been merged. --B. Wolterding 10:40, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References

This article is completely unreferenced although some of the external links may support some of the material, but that needs to be addressed properly. I have tagged it accordingly. In particular, where does the recently added section on history after the merge of the two previous associations come from? The IOP History web page only goes up to the date of the merge in 1960. --Bduke (talk) 23:51, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

IOP Publishing section

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

There are a couple of community websites listed that IOP Publishing no longer publishes: "compoundsemiconductor.net - Contains news, articles from Compound Semiconductors and a Buyer's Guide. A resource for the compound semiconductor community." and "fibers.org - news, analysis, buyers guide and recruitment service for optical networking community." (Ref: http://ioppublishing.org/publications/websites) Please can these be deleted? Thank you, Physics114 (talk) 16:39, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I checked compoundsemiconductor.net and fibers.org and noted that they say they have new publishers now, so I implemented this edit for you. Thanks for the tip! Dreamyshade (talk) 04:47, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
